Le film est le portrait tumultueux du "Grand Z", conducteur de la locomotive du train Abidjan–Ouagadougou pendant 20 ans. Il fut licencié en 1995 par la Société des chemins de Fer du Burkina Faso, à la suite de la privatisation imposée par la Banque Mondiale. Grand jouisseur impénitent, il a alors été terrassé en pleine allégresse, a tout perdu, et coule depuis des jours bien sombres en attendant sa pension de retraite.

The film builds the argument that streetcar systems purchased by these companies were deliberately sabotaged through service reductions and fare increases, then replaced with profitable, less convenient, bus systems. Next, the film makes a connection between this conspiracy and the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the suburbanization of America in the face of the Highway revolts in the 1960s and 1970s. The film ends with footage of the reduction of Philadelphia's trolleybus system at the time of filming.
